Seems that “private equity” is getting it’s hooks into sports. The inevitable result will probably be deteriorating product quality, and soaring prices.
I have vented before about the push to hype football 52 weeks/year. Several years ago, in May, the local sports “report” started, and one of the news anchors was heard, off camera, saying’ “this is the third day in a row you have lead with football”. Football hype is now a daily thing, through the offseason: “the Lions had workouts today…the Lions had OTAs today…the Lions had a mini-camp today…the Lions coach said this…this player said that…” every day.
